The transmutation performance for LLFP and Mainer Actinide (MA) was evaluated when 2t of Tc-99 and 50kg of MA was loaded into GTHTR300 core. The compositions of MA was defined as the same as the spent fuel of a PWR with 12 years cooling. The amounts of transmutation were analyzed by performing the burn-up calculation with MVP-BURN for a fuel block geometry. As a result, the transmutation performance of GTHTR300 was evaluated that 18 kg of Tc-99 and 10 kg of MA were transmutated by one year operation.
